You could just store them in your database.
All you need to do is encrypt them using a simple encryption method

  public static byte[] encrypt(String x) throws Exception
  {
     java.security.MessageDigest d =null;
     d = java.security.MessageDigest.getInstance("SHA-1");
     d.reset();
     d.update(x.getBytes());
     return  d.digest();
  }

I want to introduce the concept of users in my web
application. I want to know how to store passwords
securily on the server side. How do people deal with
passwords usually? Any documentation/guides on this
would also do.

thanks
rf.
